The binning is related to voltage range, not maximum OPP. So it's more
like fast/slow example in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/opp/opp-v2.yaml
or the opp/allwinner,sun50i-h6-operating-points.yaml, minus the efuse node.

The downstream DT currently looks like this:

opp-950000000 {
        opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <950000000>;

/* This is Mali specific; ignore
        opp-hz-real = /bits/ 64 <950000000>,
                      /bits/ 64 <950000000>;
*/
        opp-microvolt = <900000>, <1000000>;
        opp-microvolt-bin4 = <875000>, <975000>;
        opp-microvolt-bin5 = <850000>, <950000>;
};
